Using the information in the table below, mount the bracket to the wall using the four 13 mm-diameter lag bolts following the bolt manufacturer's requirements (bolts are not provided). Recommended bolt length is minimum 75 mm but may need to be longer depending on project design needs.
Page 18
Step 5: Mount the Fireplace to the Wall Recommended – Make a Vertical Mark on the Wall: Find the centre of the top of the hanging bracket and make a vertical mark at a 90º angle to the hanging bracket. This will be used as a guide to centre the fireplace while attaching it to the hanging bracket.
Page 19
Concrete or Masonry Wall You will need to provide: Four 10 mm diameter extension bolts (recommended bolt length is minimum 75 mm but may need to be longer depending on project design needs) NOTE: This section assumes the non-combustible finish is already in place.
